| Zone | Population |
|---|---|
| Evacuation Zone | 12,000 |
| High Risk | 35,000 |
| Medium Risk | 58,000 |
| Low Risk | 101,400 |

Demographic Challenge - Aging population (21% seniors) → healthcare pressures - Declining youth population → workforce concerns
Economic Vulnerability - Tourism dependence (28.5%) → shock sensitivity - Strong recovery post-COVID → resilience
Climate Concerns - Clear warming trend (+2.3°F) - Extreme heat days tripled → adaptation needed
Persistent Hazards - Active volcanoes ($800M+ damages) - 47,000 in tsunami risk zones
